Aprašymas

This eye-opening, must-read analysis exposes the crumbling state of America's transportation system, where traffic congestion, decaying infrastructure, and the politicization of funding have produced calamities like collapsed bridges and pork-barrel projects, as R. Richard Geddes charts a bold path to renewal through public-private partnerships that could revolutionize American infrastructure, urban development, and transportation policy for generations to come.

Despite record levels of government spending, America's transportation system is plagued by traffic congestion, decaying infrastructure, and politicization of transportation funding-leading to calamities such as the 2007 collapse an interstate highway bridge over the Mississippi River and political fiascos like Alaska's infamous "Bridge to Nowhere." In The Road to Renewal, R. Richard Geddes surveys the current state of U.S. ground transportation and finds that, like the roads themselves, transportation policy is in desperate need of repair. A shift toward increased use of public-private partnerships (PPPs)-contractual agreements that allow private participation in the design, construction, operation, and delivery of transportation facilities-could significantly improve the quality of U.S. roadways.
